The Italian Ministry of Ecological Transition made it clear tonight that Italy has not made any openness regarding the payment of Russian gas in rubles.
At the same time, the competent ministry stressed that “pending the establishment of a single payment position at EU level, the euro framework – which provides for companies to pay in euros – at this stage does not appear to be a breach of the sanctions set on 24 February. ».
Earlier, the Politico news portal published an interview with Italian Environment Minister Roberto Cingolani, in which, according to Politico, the minister stated that “it could be positive, at least for a few months, to allow companies to accept Russia’s demands and pay for gas in rubles, waiting for the overall framework of the rules and its implications to be understood “.
“The article does not reflect the views expressed by Minister Tsingolani, who did not open his request for payment in rubles,” the Draghi government’s Ministry of Ecology said in a statement.
